Yeah, but the 40 reviewers were roguelike fans, and you know how hard it is to please roguelikers. ;)
I'm primarily about content when it comes to Roguelikes, so the 7-day stuff has never floated my battleship. :(

They were graded on a scale of 1-3. From the site:
QuoteEach of the following categories was graded from 1 to 3. A higher number is better. Note that we reserved 3 for "truly excellent", so getting a 2 is a worthy accomplishment.
(As an aside, this blog post http://clojurefun.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/game-development-in-clojure-alchemy-7drl-post-mortem/ (http://clojurefun.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/game-development-in-clojure-alchemy-7drl-post-mortem/) about developing for the challenge helped me when I was learning the Clojure programming language. The developer, mikera, got a 2.17 in this challenge)
